Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of the study drug tirzepatide to placebo in participants with type 2 diabetes that are already on insulin glargine, with or without metformin. Participants will administer tirzepatide or placebo along with their previous glucose lowering medications. The study will last approximately 47 weeks and may include about 23 visits.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (10 mg and 15 mg) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 40 ]
    HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured primarily to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Least Squares (LS) mean was determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) model with Baseline + Baseline Metformin Use (Yes, No) + Pooled Country + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline in HbA1c (5 mg) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 40 ]
    HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured primarily to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Least Squares (LS) mean was determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) model with Baseline + Baseline Metformin Use (Yes, No) + Pooled Country + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).

  2. Change From Baseline in Body Weight [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 40 ]
    Least Squares (LS) mean was determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) model with Baseline + Baseline HbA1c Group (<= 8.0%, >8.0%) + Baseline Metformin Use (Yes, No) + Pooled Country + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).

  3. Percentage of Participants Achieving an HbA1c Target Value of <7% [ Time Frame: Week 40 ]
    Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A.HbA1c is measured to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time.

  4. Change From Baseline in Fasting Serum Glucose [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 40 ]
    Fasting serum glucose (FSG) is a test to determine sugar levels in serum sample after an overnight fast. LS Mean was determined by MMRM model with Baseline + Pooled Country + Baseline Metformin Use (Yes, No) + Baseline HbA1c Group (<= 8.0%, >8.0%) + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares) as variables.

  5. Mean Change From Baseline in Daily Average 7-Point Self-Monitored Blood Glucose (SMBG) Values [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 40 ]
    The self-monitored plasma glucose (SMBG) data were collected at the following 7 time points: Morning Premeal - Fasting, Morning 2-hour Postmeal, Midday Premeal, Midday 2-hour Postmeal, Evening Premeal, Evening 2-hour Postmeal and Bedtime. Least Squares (LS) mean was determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) model with Baseline + Baseline HbA1c Group (<= 8.0%, >8.0%) + Baseline Metformin Use (Yes, No) + Pooled Country + Treatment (Type III sum of squares).

  6. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Weight Loss ≥5% [ Time Frame: Week 40 ]
    Percentage of Participants who Achieved Weight Loss ≥5%.

  7. Percentage Change From Baseline in Daily Mean Insulin Glargine Dose [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 40 ]
    LS mean was calculated using MMRM model with log (Baseline) + Baseline Metformin Use (Yes, No) + Pooled Country + Baseline HbA1c Group (<= 8.0%, >8.0%) + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares) as variables.

  8. Rate of Hypoglycemia With Blood Glucose <54 Milligram/Deciliter (mg/dL) [<3.0 Millimole/Liter (mmol/L)] or Severe Hypoglycemia [ Time Frame: Baseline through Safety Follow-Up (Up to Week 44) ]
    The hypoglycemia events were defined by participant reported events with blood glucose <54mg/dL) (<3.0 mmol/L] or severe hypoglycemia. Severe hypoglycemia is defined as an episode with severe cognitive impairment requiring the assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. These episodes may be associated with sufficient neuroglycopenia to induce seizure or coma. The rate of postbaseline hypoglycemia was estimated by negative binomial model: number of episodes = Pooled Country + Baseline Metformin Use (Yes, No) + Baseline HbA1c Group (<= 8.0%, >8.0%) + Treatment, with log (exposure in days/365.25) as an offset variable.

  9. Pharmacokinetics (PK): Steady State Area Under the Concentration Time Curve (AUC) of Tirzepatide [ Time Frame: Week 7, 15, 23 and 39 post dose ]
    AUC is a combined measure obtained from Week 7, 15, 23 and 39 and a single averaged measure of AUC was reported.

  10. Percentage of Participants Achieving an HbA1c Target Value of <5.7% [ Time Frame: Week 40 ]
    Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time.
